The Curse of Monkey Island™
Description
I've sailed the seas from Trinidad to Tortuga and I've never seen anything like it! The engagement ring I gave Elaine has a terrible pirate curse on it. LeChuck is behind it, I'm sure. I should have known that nothing good could come out of that evil zombie's treaures. And if that's not bad enough,...

Description
I've sailed the seas from Trinidad to Tortuga and I've never seen anything like it! The engagement ring I gave Elaine has a terrible pirate curse on it. LeChuck is behind it, I'm sure. I should have known that nothing good could come out of that evil zombie's treaures. And if that's not bad enough, the clairvoyant I met in the mangrove swamp told me that if I am to break the curse and save Elaine, I will have to die!

Finally!

I've been waiting for the day GOG would get this game! My favorite game in existence right up next to Grim Fandango. Played this as a kid and it still holds up today.

A wonderful game!

This game was the first in the series I played back in the 90's and had a blast with it growing up. The writing and jokes are hilarious and the puzzles fun and interesting, recommend playing this on the "Mega Monkey" difficulty. To get more puzzles and more fun out of this game! If you like point and clickers, this is a must buy and then go play the other ones as well!

Highest form of it's Genre

I feel like this game is nothing short of the perfect adventure game. I've played through adventure games all through the 90's and actually started replaying them as an adult now that I'm (barely) smart enough to beat them. This game from the art, characters puzzles, and animations are nothing short of a masterpiece. It doesn't necessarily get better than this.

PLEASE remaster this Mr. Schaffer

This is one of the best games I've played ever. Great music, voice acting, characters, environments and puzzles. I never get tired of replaying it. A 90s classic that remains untouched by the years.

My favorite Monkey Island game

This is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite MI, and one of my all time favorite games. The story is good, the animation and backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous, the voice acting is top-notch and music is great. I liked the ship battles segment quite a bit, and the insult swordfighting makes a nice comeback. On the flipside, some of the puzzles can suffer from "moon logic", but it's not constant, and you can usually figure out the solution based on your current goal, and the current goal is always clear. Story-wise, it feels like its own thing, which is both good and bad, I guess. It's nice that you can basically play this without knowing any of the other games, but I'm also a bit sad that there isn't at least a little continuity. This game represents the lead up to the absolute pinnacle of classic graphic adventure games, and I will always love it.
